| I'm sorry, I had a small error in my code. It should have been:
|=20
| >go filelist =3D mapM go' filelist -- no "do return"
| > where go' f =3D do h <- openFile f ReadMode
| > text <- hGetContents h
| > let c =3D head $! text
| > return (c `seq` (hClose h `seq` c))
I don't think the "do return" bit matters.
If you change the last line to
c `seq` (hClose h `seq` return c)
is the behaviour changed?
